I have been having contractions all day not painful or really timable, but sometimes when i have them it feels like im getting my period and when I check my underwear will be a tiny wet and when I wipe there is a discharge that is sort of water but looks like oily, what is this? anyone had it before? I will go to hospital when contractions get stronger or timable, but im concerned about the discharge its only happend about 3 times today if my water was leaking wouldn't it be leaking more? plus it feels like im getting my period type of cramping. what is going on?

It is from the mucus plug. I had it with all 3 of mine. It is common in most females. If it gets real bad call your on call doctor and see what they say to do about it. That goes before your water brakes, so just keep a good eye on it....

Please call your Dr or go to the hospital. Your first writer is correct! If your water bag has a leak of course you can not control it and it is steady regardless of how slow the leak is, it does not stop. Time to call the Dr. Usually this is accompanied with backache (either constant or with each contraction) menstrual like cramps, indigestion,diarrhea, a sensation of warmth in the abdomen and bloody show (mucosy discharge) You may experience all of these or just two of these. It's possible that the amniotic fluid membranes have ruptured before the onset of contractions. The information I have given you came from my book called What to expect if your expecting. By the way you can get an infection if you are leaking and it does not stop. I hope this helps good luck and blessings to come.

Call your doctor or go the labor and delivery at the hospital. Sounds like you may be leaking urine. You could have a bladder infection and not know it. Sometimes the pain of a UTI can act like braxton hicks, or can even bring on contractions. Best to get it checked out, just to be sure. They can also test you for amniotic fluid leaking. It is just a little strip that they put at the opening of your vagina and if it turns colors, you are leaking fluid. 32 weeks is still too early for the baby to come and be healthy, so your best bet is to get it checked. I would go tonight if possible. You can also go to the ER if you feel you need to, but usually by this time, they will just send up to labor and delivery anyway. Good luck!!!!!

If you are only 32 weeks you need to go to the hospital. You need to see if there is a way that they can stop you from having any contractions. If your water is leaking at 32 weeks I'd say that it is time to get to the hospital. It may not be your water, but I wouldn't take the chance!

This actually just happend to me yesterday. My doctor yelled at me for not calling any sooner. You definetly need to call your doctor now- she was really worried. I had to go in for another sono and stress test. It turned out to be just discharge. If you are leaking then you definetly need medical help for the safety of the child.

go to the hospital! When my water broke, it was only a trickle, and didn't feel like pee. But they want you to go to the hospital when you are leaking- could cause infection if you don't. They will check you to make sure.

How far along are you? Sounds like you're losing your mucus plug! Won't be long now. Keep an eye on those contractions!

you might want to go into the hospital and get checked out if you are that worried, my doctor had to break my water so I can't really relate to you about this but I strongly suggest you get that checked out if you seem to be worrying more and more about it.
